A Call That Changed Her Entire Life novel Chapter 208

Debby was too nervous to look Abbott in the eye. The panicked expression on her face showed her guilty consciousness. Only then did she realize what she had done. "She...she's right, Mr. Abbott. I'm just speaking nonsense. Mrs. Bess is right. We should wait until Tina is safe and sound..."

As soon as she had finished her words, she tried to sneak away, but Abbott immediately had people to bring her back "Sorry, ma'am. I think you had better stay here for a while," he said to Debby.

"We should all get our blood type tested." Mark finally broke his silence, and said, "We should at least give it a try."

Bess was surprised by Mark's words, especially when the doctor just mentioned that blood cannot be transfused between immediate family members. "How could you believe that woman's words? Your sister is..." Bess tried to persuade him.

"Anything is possible. There's no harm in trying," Mark said with determination.

Eventually Abbott and Bess were persuaded by Mark. Although they were still astounded by Debby's words, it was not the right time for argument. After all, Tina's safety was the most important thing at the moment!

Everyone went to get their blood type tested, and the results came out quite quickly. Between the four of them, Mark and Abbott had the same blood type, while Debby and Bess shared the same blood type with Tina.

To ensure the safety of blood transfusion, both of their blood samples were sent to have a DNA paternity test.

Bess waited anxiously, as she was a bit nervous about the results. She even wondered if she really wanted to see the results at all or not..

Meanwhile, Debby crossed her hands tight around her chest, whilst worrying about the exposure of her identity and the safety of Tina. Needless to say, she was caught between a rock and a hard place.

Although it didn't take long, every second was like a heavy burden for everyone to bear.

Soon, the doctor handed the test result over. He looked at the two nervous women, with a complex expression on his face. "Ladies, I have got the result in my hand. The one who has consanguinity with Miss Tina... is Mrs. Debby over here," said the doctor.

It was as if the doctor had dropped an atomic bomb, devastating every person in the room with its blast.

"What... what did you say?" Bess couldn't believe her ears. She opened her eyes wide and asked the doctor, "Could you please say it again..."

The doctor had to explained it again with patience, "Mrs. Debby over here is the one who has consanguinity with Miss Tina."

"How is it possible... How..." Bess kept saying it to herself. Bess took the report from the doctor and looked over it carefully. She read it word for word, desperately trying to find some kind of flaw. She still refused to face the harsh reality. "Tina... Tina is my daughter. She must be my daughter..." she mumbled.

'If Tina isn't my daughter, then where is my real daughter now?'

Seeing Bess in shock, Debby subconsciously backed off. However, after thinking about it for a while, she forced herself to go forward and talk with Bess, "Mrs. Bess, Tina is still... in danger..."

Mark looked serious, but he also reminded his mother calmly, "Mom, you need to stay clam. We should wait until Tina gets through the danger."

Debby was afraid that the Taos would give up on saving Tina, after learning the truth about her identity. However, Mark's caring attitude, provided her with the relief and assurance she needed to set her mind at ease.

Debby could see that Tina's brother really cared about her.

"Mrs. Bess isn't doing very well. She has been taking some medicine, but her body keeps rejecting them. I am afraid she can't donate her blood for Miss Tina," the doctor added. The doctor's words overshadowed everybody with overbearing stress.

"What now? What should we do? Isn't there any other remedy for Tina..." Bess was at a loss. Whether or not she was Tina's biological mother, she still cared for her. How could she watch as Tina died in front of her...

Debby was concerned about Tina as well... However, a few seconds later, a brilliant idea popped into her head. "Yes! Emily! She has the same blood type..." she yelled.

Mark squinted his eyes, and exclaimed, "Then call her!"

"No problem. I'm... gonna call her now..." Debby replied. Debby was so hopeful and excited, and she called Emily at once.

"Emily, I'm at the hospital now. Could you come over here now? This is an emergency! You must come here! Quickly! ... Emily, wait till you are here! I'll explain everything to you later!"

The moment Emily hung up, she rushed over to the hospital where Debby was as soon as she could. She was so worried she rushed over without wasting another second.

Although she had imagined a few different scenarios in her head, none of them even came close to what she had found when she got to the hospital. She saw her mother, Mark, and two other people she wasn't familiar with...

The moment Emily saw Mark, she got alarmed and immediately dragged Debby behind her to protect her. "What do you want from us?" Emily shouted at Mark.

Abbott and Bess looked at each other silently. However, Mark broke the awkward silence, as he said, "Miss Emily, we heard that you have the same blood type as my sister. She's been in an accident and she needs a blood transfusion as soon as possible. We hope you can save her."

"Save who? Tina?" Emily scoffed. After all the misery and anguish Tina had put her through, now she needed Emily's help to stay alive? Laughable. No wonder Emily couldn't take what Mark seriously at all.

The light in Mark's face faded out, and he insisted humbly, "Miss Emily, I know you have had a history with Tina before, but that was because she was too naive to understand the real world. We know that we spoiled her too much. I have already seen to it that she learns from her mistakes, but right now, her life is in danger. I urge you to forgive her mistakes and help her with the blood transfusion."

Emily looked at Mark like an object of ridicule. She couldn't believe that Mark didn't have a hand in all the treacherous crimes Tina had committed, including kidnapping her parents. Yet there he was, pretending to be remorseful. They were just planning on using her, weren't they?

When Mark saw the reluctance in Emily's eyes, his eyes became sharper. Deep down, he was thinking, 'I don't care what it takes, Emily has to give her blood to Tina, whether she likes it or not. Even if someone needs to knock her out!'

"Ms. Emily, please save my daughter..." Bess supplicated. She couldn't help begging Emily, with a humble attitude.

Abbott sighed deeply and urged, "Ms. Emily, so long as you can save my daughter, I am willing to give you anything you ask for. The only catch is that you have to save my daughter..."

Emily was at a loss. Their love for Tina made her a little envious.

Emily noticed how Tina's parents were willing to bend down from high places for their daughter... Tina was lucky to have such loving parents and a caring brother. Even Emily's parents cared for her...

However, she wondered what her mother was doing there amongst the Taos. Then it occurred to her...

"They... all know about it?" Emily turned around and asked Debby.

Debby bit her lips and nodded cowardly.

'Indeed, impatience can lead to trouble! Although Tina's family knew that Tina was not their own daughter, they still cared for her.'

Emily couldn't explain her envy for Tina.

As long as she could remember, her parents never cared for her in the same way.
